I hope my child inherits my lack of reaction to this stuff. I find short form video content immensely boring. I cannot relate at all to people’s ability to spend more than a couple of minutes with it.
This is terrifying looking, just activates every part of my hind brain.
Yup that’s why it’s so effective on children, they don’t have the foresight to think about the video being bad, and multiple parts of their brain light up and then they feed the addiction
Is… this real?
This reminds me of garbage pail kids cards.
more like sloptube slops
They seem to go well together tho.
Caught my 7yo niece consuming disney princess cosplay ahegao content on youtube shorts yesterday. =\ she’s not allowed on YouTube anymore, the platform is too unsafe for children.
But Google forbid if someone says rape, murder, suicide or any number of no-no words. Then that video is demonetized.
the platform was never safe, parents are just ignorant
I have a 12 year old. I considered YouTube unsafe for her unsupervised, when she was growing up (and largely still do, we have a healthy teamwork approach to it). The place is just magnitudes worse now. And yep, parents are super ignorant (and have been), they have no idea what the kids are even watching, many don’t really restrict the time they spend at all.
r u ok dwayne
This looks godawful
Most of YouTube does
I was on YouTube all the time until recently when I switched to peer tube, still to watch YouTube
I’ve never seen this shit before
I made a new youtube account recently. I use youtube shorts a decent amount. Fortunately, I never see shitty ai videos like these. I just get Invincible and GTA/Rdr2 edits. For some reason.
my eyes are bleeding
I’m a grown adult and I think those thumbnails are gonna give me nightmares holy shit
I think…I…I…yep… I do… I do smell what the rock is cooking.
it’s crack.
And parents in my generation clutched their pearls at Looney Toons cartoons. What the actual fuck?
Do people not curate their content? I never have any issues with YouTube. Even Twitter was fine. The only reason I deleted my Twitter account was because Musk bought the platform. I get recommendations for science stuff and that’s it. Even the shorts.
